If you think thats bad, you want to go to Asda, it's the pit's some days particularly when the schools are on holiday.

I'm an Aldi fan. Trouble is it's got so darn popular. People who once upon a time looked down their noses at the place are now beating a path to their door. I saw one snooty neighbour in there once but when she was unloading the shopping back home it was all in Sainsbury carriers.
 
It's buisy shops in general that really get to me. I don't even bother heading out to the shops over the xmas period. Do all my crimbo shopping on line so as to avoid the xmas crazies.

I have seen B&Q resembling more of a Playschool than a shop at times. Wee nippers being left to play hide-and-seek amongst the sharp-pointy-thing section always seems a tad irrisponsible to me! :confused:

They pay their staff about £3 an hour more than the other supermarkets.

Think you'll find that they call in more staff than required and have the extra sat around in the staff room (unpaid) so they are never short staffed and so they can attract staff with the high wage - but works out about the same if u add up all the unpaid time sat twiddling your thumbs....

Not confirmed - just something I was told....

Why would staff sit in a room, unpaid? Wheres the attraction? Surely they'd just b****r off home? Sounds proposterous. Aldis are very efficient anyway, my local Aldi never seems to have any more than 4 staff on, 1 of whom is on the till.

Cos if they didnt they'd be sacked and wouldnt earn £7.5x the hours they do work - ends up working out the same as another supermarket, plus sitting in a room is easier than working double the hours somewhere else.

Another reason for the pay, i'm told is that they have to remember all the prices of everything in store cos there are no barcodes/automated tills. So maybe thats what they do in the staff room! :LOL:

I've heard that, and it's an absolute load of bo**ocks.
If they could remember all the prices, which must number in the hundreds or thousands, they would surely be capable of earning loads of money at the LSE.
They have had barcodes and automated tills for a few years now .The difference is that they are all capable of doing any job in the store.

Impossible, seeing as the snottery started on November 19 1994. ;)
